‘Tis the Season for High Tree Pollen

We’re in the midst of the spring season, and no surprise that we’re complaining about pollen. In particular, tree pollen is very high across a large portion of the country. This year has been especially worse due to the rapid leaf-out in the Northern Tier of the US as warmer temperatures quickly moved in following a cold April compared to average.

These high levels of pollen are making millions of Americans suffer with itchy eyes and many sneezes. Thankfully, the peak of the tree pollen is here and levels will drop off within the next one to two weeks.
